Women In Busin ess.

In the operating room OF the Western
Union Telegraph Company, at dizzy
height above the roofs and many OF the
towers Of New York, seven hundred men
and women, mainly between the ages oi
eighteen and thirty five, manipulate the
electric machines that scatter and receive
the telegraphic correspondence Of the
metropolis. For several years women have
been employed side by side with men in
this great work room, and as the sexes
have never been divided, but almost every
girl and woman has been brought, at one
time or another, to the side of almost
every man, this sa splendid vantage point
for studying the problem presented by
this new phase of city life.
The questions that it was necessary to
ask ] first put to Mr.. William J. Dealey,
the manager.
HAS it been your experience" / inquir'
ed, THAT women in business lose their
feminine ambition to marry and keep
house? Do they marry in any less proper
ton in business than they do from the
homes Of the land?"
my experience" said Mr. Dealy, sis
that ladies in business become to q certain
extent independent, consequently more
self reliant, naturally more exacting, more
critical, less sentimental, better able gen.
orally to take care of themselves, and that
their marriages are more wisely planned
aud result In greater average Of happi-
ness than il they had less means Of obser-
yation. Ny experience is that there are
more marriages. between people in busi-
ness IN the same Office than there would
be between the same number Of men and
women if not 80 closely associated in bust
ness. Their judgment in the choice OF
life partners is excellent, simply because
OF their experience. The boys see many
kinds OF girls, and the girls an equal va
riety Of boys, and they learn to compare
the qualities Of those around them"
Then business does not rob woman
Of feminine qualities; she still wants to be
a wife and fulfill her natural part in life?'
| inquired.
Yes
care lady operators in this Office robbed
OF their graces and charms by the disci-
pine Of business?
"No; on the contrary, they add to their
charms by being constantly on their dig
nifty, whis is necessary outcome Of disci-
pline. Women in business lead two lives,
one business life and the other social
life. The training Of their business life |
makes them practical, economical and far
seeing 10 social life. The majority Of them
perhaps il may be said that all OF them |
have dependents upon them at home, and |
lhe sense Of responsibility thus developed
necessarily makes them good housekeepers
good managers.

There are twenty morning and ten evsH.

The key has about as much shape as
camel, and in q general way lies east and
west and contains about six square miles.
1t is as fat rs single, the highest point
being about fourteen feet above the mean
sea level. To the casual visitors It looks
as though the sea, particularly In storm,
would submerge this Insignificant rise,
but it is matter Of record that It never
has done it. The city proper covers the
western end of the key, and Il was, pre-
vious to the great IRE Of March 30, 1889,
very densely settled, and about as un-
American looking as could well be
imagined, bearing q strong resemblance
to West India town. The houses are Of
wood and quite plainly built. There are,
think, only four or Ave brick buildings,
and certainly not more than six.
The streets are Of very good width,
tolerably straight and passably clean.
The roadway is coral rock. There Is no
soil to speak Of; what passes for soil Is
triturated coral, very rich In phosphates
and making an excellent fertilizer, but by
itself deficient In Fat. TO garden one
must use pick rather than hoe. Very
few vegetables are grown here and yege.
tation is confined mainly to cocoanut
trees. Here and there canSbe seen pine
or an Alexander or star Of India or q
royal poncana; few mulberry and prickly
ash trees and popenack bushes. Flowers
and towering shrubs grow in abundance.

AS the silo subject is receiving con.

AS the silo subject is receiving con-
siderable attention in different parts
of the country, and as the subject is
not very well understood 5y many,
the following from an exchange
be read 1892 interest. The Dunn
County News says:
Possibly some of. our readers are
asking What is silo?' To such we
reply: A silo, as understood in Wis
consiR, is receptacle or rooms for
preserving green fodder in its natural
state, which is called ensilage. Two
things are absolutely necessary in
building a silo, namely-it must be
air tight and frost proof. Otherwise
the contents instead of remaining
fresh and sweet as when harvested,
will ferment, decay, and become ut
terly worthless. Great advantages
are claimed Tor the use of ensiIage
over dry fodder, among which are
economy in harvesting, excellence as
food, and superior milk-producing
qualities. The average cost when
placed in the silo Is said 10 be about
$1.40 per ton. Ota series of expert
ments made at the state experimental
farm, Prof. Henry says In his second
annual report: Thirteen rows of
fodder corn converted into snsilage
actually lasted two cows seventy
days. Thirteen other rows equal in
all ways to those made into ensilage
when cut, shocked, bound into
bundles and housed lasted two cows
forty-seven days. In this regard the
value of ensilage exceeds that of corn
fodder by nearly fifty per cent With
milch-cows much the same results
are claimed for it's use as are obtained
from June grasses-the flow of milk
is increased and the cows become
sleek and thrifty"

Passes on English Railways.

I have found upon investigation that
the English railways have to bear the oner-
GUS task in the way of furnishing free
transportation to prominent individuals
and officials, as did the railroads in the
United States before the passage Of the
interstate commerce bill. was told by o
railroad official the other day that all of
the royalties travel free, and that they
expect in addition special coaches. The
visiting royalties have also been furnished
free transportation, and in many instances
special trains. This pass system must be
very expensive. Coming up from Ports.

r. S. Peale & Co., Chicago, the pub

coming book, 1.-THE Great Cryptic

to satisfy the world that Francis
Bacon is the real author OF the plays
heretofore attributed to one William
Shakespeare, announce that the inter-
est manifested in the book is phenom-
email, the applications from agents
and also for single copies coming
in faster than they can be attended to.
The only thing approaching it in the
manifestation of popular interest was
General Grants Personal Memoirs"
This latter work, however, appealed
only to one section OF the country,
comparatively few copies being sold
south of Mason and Dixon,s line.
whereas Mr.. Donnelly's startling an
nouncement has excited the entire
literary world, and all are anxiously
awaiting the appearance of his book.
There was also great drawback to
the sale of Grants book in the fact
that there were in the field at the
time not less than twenty-sfx otner
books of a competitive character, very
many OF them calculated to deceive
the public by cunningly conceived
titles closely resembling the genuine
book. The fact that no imitation of
Mr.. Donnelly's work can possibly APP
pear is of especial interest, as "The
Great Cryptogram" will be sold ex-
clusiyely by subscription.
